My first time in Vietnam I was immediately blown away (and scared!) by the amount of motorbikes on the streets of Ho Chi Minh and the amount of cargo they carried! I once saw a family of 6 on ONE bike, with their dog too 😳 So when my friend there told me about this book of photos I had to have it. The bikes are quite an amazing feature of the Vietnamese lifestyle and they use them to transport just about anything!

Cinfhen That's soooo cool 😎 I would love to see Vietnam one day 7y
batsy I was a little intimidated to cross the road when I was there and our Vietnamese friend told us to just plunge ahead and walk like they would all stop 😓 7y
emilyhaldi @batsy I know, me too! And I got the same advice. While it's true, the motorbikes will stop for you when you cross, it's something I was never able to get used to... 🙈 7y
Mdargusch Wow! I can't believe what they carry. 😳 7y
